MPB map
50 artists of Música Popular Brasileira — from choro and samba roots through Bossa Nova, the 1960s–70s MPB golden generation, Tropicália, and today — placed by birth year (horizontal) and influence (vertical), linked by 50 known lines of influence. Companion to the artistic and culinary maps.
Each point is a artist (x = birth year, y = approximate influence, a prominence proxy). Hover a name to trace its connections — arrows point from a thinker to those they shaped; red dashed lines mark critical reactions, grey lines positive influence. Click a point for Wikipedia, and use the legend to filter traditions.
